So after doing my now routine post-update Facebook interface poke-around, I hopped on to one of my favorite applications - Zynga’s ATTACK! which is a game of Risk online. Yes. I’m a dork. You knew that already.

My good friend @judahe asked @mashable @susqhb and myself. He asked: “Why doesn’t facebook notify you when someone ‘@mentions your fan page?”

Some Background

Yesterday, I wrote a post about how Twitter rolled out Assigned Tweets. That led to a really great discussion with Ross Simmonds (who commented on said post) which went a little something like this:

Over the past year, Facebook has been coming out with Facebook Fan Boxes, Widgets, and Facebook Connect – its series of ways for people to take their Facebook fanaticism and moving it on to the rest of the web!

Okay, I have Google Wave invites to give away and I’m bored – so I have created a contest that will give you a chance to win one of my precious invites!

Just answer the following question in a comment to this post:

1. Sign in to Google Account

Because Google Social Search is an account setting for now – you must be signed in to Google to activate it. Click “Sign In” on the top right, and enter your username and password.
